Case study entitled "Wards Cove Packing Co. v. Atonio." What is a just hiring policy that can avoid discrimination?

Read the case study entitled "Wards Cove Packing Co. v. Atonio" on page 393-394 of your text.

Based on this case, propose new hiring practices for the company to follow. In your proposal, be sure to address the following:

•  Do you feel the current hiring practices are discriminatory? Why or why not? What policies should be adopted?

•  Is there a correlation between the hiring practices for cannery workers and noncannery workers? Should the practices be the same or separate, even though the positions are different?

•  Is it an acceptable practice for the cannery to rehire skilled noncannery workers it has worked with previously? Is it acceptable even if the noncannery workers are predominantly white?


Solution Summary

In this solution, I outline two fundamental and important principles to consider when evaluating employment and hiring policies. It is important to consider what we mean by "ethical behaviour." After outlining these principles, I take a careful look at the hiring practices of Wards Cove Packing. In conclusion, I propose a sound and just simple policy that Wards (and other companies) could use to avoid hiring discrimination.
